Recently there has been a huge amount of hype for the BlackBerry Z10, and why shouldn’t there be? Its a new handset running a new OS, with interesting potential. The only shortfall is the fact the handset will only come in black and white for consumers. For lucky developers that submitted apps in time for the BB10 launch, BlackBerry has tossed out a little thank you by allowing them to purchase a limited edition Red BlackBerry Z10.

Alec Saunders, Blackberry’s VP of Developer Relations, made the announcement during the BlackBerry Jam Europe 2013. Not only will these handsets be red, but they will also have an engraved serial number, showing just how limited edition they are. While most I imagine will keep these handsets for bragging rights of sorts, surely some will attempt to turn a quick profit and post them online on sites like Ebay. Surely these handsets will fetch a premium due to their rarity.

The little brother of the Sony Xperia Z, the Sony Xperia ZL, while it won’t have the water or dust proof ability of its big brother, will be a bit more colorful. The Xperia Z is available in black, white and purple, but the Xperia ZL will be available in the crowd favorite red and also the standard black and white. When the Sony Xperia ZL was first announced, it was only shown in a white and black version.

We were hoping to see a red version of the Xperia ZL at CES 2013, but Sony kept us in the dark.

There is no indication as of yet which markets will be getting the red version of the Sony Xperia ZL, but we do know that it will not be seen in the European countries of Italy and the UK.

I prefer plan old black when it comes to phone, but not everyone feels that way. What about you, do you like the brighter colors?
